The holidays are a time to treat ourselves, have fun, and keep our energy flowing. You might be hitting the Starbucks drive-thru, or sipping coffee throughout the day to keep up with this busy time of year. The sugar and calories in many popular drinks can sneak up on us and even end in a sugar crash, so we're here to help you sip smarter!
Here are a few tips to enjoy your coffee without a ton of sugar and calories:
See our go-to Starbucks menu picks below:
Coffee contains caffeine, vitamins and minerals, and other components that may provide health benefits. Tea contains antioxidants and caffeine, providing a healthy energy boost. Both are great options to reach for when you're looking for energy and mental clarity. Just beware of hidden ingredients, added sugars, and calorie-filled syrups. Sip smart and you'll be full of energy for the holiday season without the sugar crash.
Caffeine can be a nice mid-day boost or help us ease into the day but nothing can substitute a great night's rest. If you find yourself losing sleep this time of year, check out a few of the tips found here.
